xQc’s Astounding $100,000,000 Contract Puts Him Ahead of Patrick Mahomes, Kevin Durant, Aarong Judge And Many Others!

Streamers are among the biggest entertainers in the world right now. With the rise of streaming as a viable option for content creators, streaming platforms have realized the value certain streamers bring to the platform. Evident in Shroud and Ninja’s deals with Mixer, streamers reached a new level of acclaim and appreciation. Following this, it looks like one streamer continues to push the boundaries of how the world perceives streamers.

Streamer xQc recently penned a non-exclusive 2-year deal with streaming platform Kick, that sees a payout of a whopping $100 million. It sees him earn more than some of the highest-paid athletes in the world!

xQc ranks at the 12th spot in the largest sports contracts list

Felix “xQc” Lengyel became popular on Twitch following his Overwatch career. Known for his quirky behavior and hilarious moments on stream, he quickly won the hearts of fans, even playing with chess Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura on stream. His success culminated in a deal he signed with Adin Ross‘ streaming platform Kick, a deal that sees him earn $100 million over 2 years.

Following the announcement of the deal, fans remained shocked about the size of the contract. When compared to the highest-paid athletes in the world, xQc sits above the 12th highest-paid athlete. What is even more shocking is this new deal is bigger than contracts with some of the most prominent athletes in the world.

xQc’s Kick contract is worth more than the deal LeBron signed last year that was worth $97.1 million, just shy of the $100 million mark. His annual pay now sees him earn more than basketball stars Kevin Durant and Luka Dončić, as well as NFL icon Patrick Mahomes. Fans could not believe what they say. Moreover, this is a non-exclusive deal. This means he is not limited to just streaming on Kick! The contract is a positive sign of the growing influence of streamers as a whole.

Streamers become top earners in the world

xQc’s contract is a reminder of the increasing prominence of the world of streamers. These streamers provide content their fans enjoy, entertaining people along the way. They build communities of viewers that interact with each other. xQc’s deal is among the list of streamers being signed to platforms to attract their massive viewer base.
